Incompatible? One of the most well-known pictures of the revolutionary war, painted by Emanuel Leutze almost a hundred years after, depicts a scene where George Washington stoically stands on a boat leading the troops across the frozen Delaware River.

From the time he became an adult until his death, he fought - both diplomatically and militarily - to maintain the independence of the Scottish people. As he himself famously said, “we fight not for glory, nor for wealth, nor honour but only and alone for freedom which no good man surrenders but with his life” (Innes, 2). Over the course of his nearly fifty-five years,…

already been roaming the prairie around them. When they finally found the buffalo it was a field full of deceased buffalo bodies. Only their hides and tongues were taken; all the good meat was left to rot. Dunbar explained it by saying it was done by people with no “values” or “soul” and with “ no regard to Sioux rights” (Dances with Wolves).

(Chang 172). “Planet Rock” revolutionized hip-hop through challenging listeners and performers alike to commit to togetherness and is touted as the catalyst that allowed hip-hop to become global (Chang 173), to a greater extent even than The Sugar Hill Gang’s “Rapper’s Delight” in 1979 as the first rap record. Later, this theme of knowledge continued with artist KRS (Knowledge Reigning Supreme)-One, who openly spurned increasing commercialism and cultural exploitation of 1990’s hip-hop (“About…

It’s the dead of night, not a single sound to be heard. Then there’s a bloodcurdling cry that shatters the silence. “A DRAGON!” is all that is heard besides the terrifying screams and desperate cries for help. She charges out of the palace on her trusty steed, Xavier into the night’s dark deception. With a family heirloom, a very powerful sword. Yes, it‘s Excalibur. The legendary, most powerful sword in the world. Even ten knights could not compare to his power. “Hurry it up Guin! Time’s a…

dad went to when he was in college. It was magnificent, but the food was stuff like what people ate in Colonial Williamsburg. There were three stores that looked like they were aging too. One was a toy store. It wasn't like a toy store today; it was kind of old fashioned. Another store was a metal smith shop. It had guns that date back to about 1865. There were also bullets that were shot in the Civil War period. The last store was a merchandise store. It had lots of cool but old fashion…
